ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID

i have frog eyes…I was 6 years old

I am too much…i am happy and excited to see you

I deserved to be beat up by my abusive boyfriend…mom, i was afraid and needed help

I was stupid…Steinbeck books weren’t written with teenagers in mind

I am spoiled…I buy what I want with the money that I worked so long and so hard for

I was a bitch…I learned how to say no

I was a slut and a whore…you were cheating

I wasn’t breaking your heart…Dad, I needed to know you had one

I was a glutton for punishment…Mom, why couldn’t you ask me what was wrong

I was too fat…my body was creating miracles with every passing second

I wasn’t educated enough…i’d lived a thousand lives by the time I was olde enough for college

I was the cause of you breaking your sobriety…I was gasping for air as you suffocated me with your anxiety

I stole your kitten…i saved an animal left for dead in the street

My pussy smelled…our sex was hot until i wasn’t interested in exploring your bisexuality with you

I was jealous and stalking you…I was accepting your invitations while you created fake crazy text messages so your girlfriend wouldn’t suspect you were cheating

if I couldn’t do it right the first time, then I shouldn’t do it at all…i’ve been paralyzed by fear of failure my entire life

I’ll couldn’t ask for top salary…they paid my asking price no questions asked and I’ve been earning top range at every job thereafter

I am too quiet…you don’t make me feel safe

I am too demanding…I am not afraid to ask for what I want

I am bossy…I am not afraid to be my own leader

I am a loser…I continuously keep raising the bar and forget to acknowledge how many times I’ve jumped it

I’m a spic…learn how to spell, it’s h-i-s-p-a-n-i-c
